Nightmare Moon felt much more powerful than before as she defeated some royal guards. She knew that the Elements of Harmony would be after her first, so they would be next. Twilight and her friends trotted through Ponyville, talking and giggling. Nightmare Moon appeared in front of them. "You shall praise your Sun Princess no more!" She shouted as she used a spell and turned them to stone. The statues fell and broke into pieces. She knew who would be next, the rest of the royal guards. She appeared in front of the royal guards whom were protecting the castle. One by one, she defeated each one as quickly as they charged. Shining Armor was in the middle of the bodies, getting ready to use a spell. She then used her magic as a beam of blue light came at her. Shining Armor collapsed as she thought about who would be next. An idea came to her head and it was her best idea yet. There was another Alicorn left, Cadence. Cadence was the only other pony who might be able to put up a fight. Could Cadence survive?
